How to disable carrier-check for native WiFi Tether (no root) - Sprint LG G4

Saw this over in the AT&T subforum, originally posted by @ExTREmE99 , just reposting here.
This will disable the carrier check on your Sprint G4 and allow you to use the native WiFi tether - no root needed!
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot
When your phone comes back up you will have a fully functional native tethering app! Please keep in mind that this is not the Hotspot app in your app drawer, but the Mobile Hotspot in the "Tethering" section in your settings.

It still gives the no subscription message, then disables.

Cofirmed, it starts for a second then tells me i'm not subscribed.

sorry guys. it works on the AT&T HS810 variant . i pulled this from a G3 thread i found on xda somewhere

very strange why this is working for some while not working for others. This process worked perfectly on my verizon G4 and my dad's sprint G4.
For the people who are still getting the subscription required message, have you taken the OTA update that came a week or so ago?

I hadn't. I just did the update last night though, as I was so frustrated with the touch screen issues. (which btw are all fixed now) I will try this trick again with update.
EDIT(UPDATE): Still doesn't work after update.

not giving up my g2 unless i can get the tether to work.. maybe i will activate the g4 and try this out..

Is there any way to edit the apn through adb shell? I found a video on how to enable tetheringon the G2 by adding dun to the apn type. I was wondering if it would work for the G4 as well.

you can get to APN settings screen via ##3282# but there is no field "APN Type" on this phone
to get your MSL/SPC - method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521276 worked for my LG G4 Sprint
someone just needs to figure out what happened to "APN type" on this phone - it's missing

Did not work for my sadly :/ I got the subscription error.
This is on a Sprint LG G4 with the latest updates.
I had the LG G2 with ROOT and had no luck by passing the tether subscription lock even after years of it being released.

Let me know if this works for anyone else, it worked for me
youtu.be/j3Di9d7w1so
It also seems that a new apn can be configured, potentially making the device usable on another carrier.

Worked for me flawlessly
Sprint LG G4

Isn't there a huge reward to root g4.. oh yeh, this isn't rooting.

Works just fine. Is this the same as using Foxfi and PdaNet on a rooted phone in terms of Sprint being able to tell if it's tethered or not? I don't want to get hit with unexpected charges. I have a sero unlimited data plan. Thanks.

Anyone sucessfully tether?

I have been unable to start a wireless tether. When I open barnacle the default verizon hotspot app pops up and gets in the way. Anyone else experiencing similar behavior or find a way around it?
I attempted both the stable and beta versions of wireless tether to no avail (the AP starts, but with errors).

I followed that tutorial and when I activate Mobile Hotspot in the Mobile Hotspot app this notification pops up:
"Checking Provisioning with the Verizon Server."
then the "On Device Provisioning" screen pops up in the background, followed by a notification saying:
"Retrieving terms and conditions.
Please Wait"
finally, it throws the error
"Your order could not be processed.
If you would like to subscribe to the service, call:..."
I rooted the device using Pete's oneclick and ran his scripts in DROID_3_remove_bloat_5_6_890.zip keeping the launcher, messaging apps, DLNA, social features, motoprint, and swype. Does anyone have any insight as to why I am getting this message or what I should try to get this to work?
Edit: I should note that I am trying this on 4G. I could see how this is only possible on 3G, as the radio may use different means of authentication for 4G. If this were to be the case, there might be a second set of parameters that can be modified.
I would love to use the droid 3 wireless solution but i have got to the step of plugging the phone into the computer after having all drivers and the radiocom program installed and it the phone info does not show up
please confirm anyone who has got this to work that the phone is to be in PC Mode.
Again I have all the drivers installed have .net installed and the radiocom program and the phone usb in pc mode
I am running windows vista home 32bit machine

Google's WiFi Tether app

Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...
I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem
Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".
Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.
I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

exactly, in the mean time your going to be stuck using PDAnet and a USB cable.
Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

Can't get 3 beta to work at all but it doesn't offer anything other than ad-hoc mode also. Also doesn't show data going through on the app. But hey at least it works.
Can anyone confirm the 2.0.7 wireless tether working?
not working
2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.
Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...
The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.
I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.
Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.

I just tried this. It appears to be working. I was able to connect and browse from my laptop. Now the question is, does Verizon still know I'm tethering even though I'm not paying to tether?
I second. Works for me a well, with no warning or pop up. Cudos to you my good man

Just did it and all seems fine so far.
btw, WOW. Ive never poked around the databases like that. Everything from the hdmi overscan to wifi info is in there. That is So cool.
Works for me too! However, only works properly with WPA security. If Hotspot is set to "open", you can connect but get no internet...

[Q] VZW Moto X as Hotspot

So I am strongly considering the Moto X not that Verizon has Moto Maker and the 32GB verizon. The one thing I love on my current phone running CM10.2 is the ability to tether my laptop to it for internet access without getting charged extra by verizon while I travel. Usually in a monthly billing cycle when traveling with work I'll consume about 20GBs of data. Can I do this with the Moto X without getting charged tether fees? Do I need to root it to do this?
FYI: I'm i'm on an unlimited plan
If you root with RockMyMoto, yes..
For using Wifi Tether for Root app, see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 You MUST use the specific version now linked in the first post, or it wont work.... In other words, do NOT get the version from the Play store. (I'm using this way with my Rooted X, also unlimited plan)
To use the built in tethering app see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443562 (I haven't tried it, but there are many reports in that thread of it working).
If you don't want to root, then you could try Foxfi. Not sure if it works, I've never used it.
I have always used THIS, on multiple phones. I'm on the 3.3 beta 2 and it works fine. Go into settings, and make sure the device profile is Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), and check the WiFi driver reload, MSS clamping, and Routing fix options.

For some reason I couldn't get that version to work on my Verizon X. While the PC and tablet saw the X, it saw it as WLAN0, and never properly connected to the phone.
The thread I linked to has a patched version that works properly for me, including seeing the "hot spot" as the SSID I set on the phone, and letting the PC and tablet connect to the phone and get to the internet.
The x is awesome for one. All u gotta do is root and follow the thread to use built In tethering appreciate. Works great. Or better yet flash Nitro's eclipse ROM. Its all done and its a great rom

I did notice the wlan0 where on the other device I had u could change it or use the ssid, but my tab and others will connect? The initial connection always funks up, usually just have to cycle WiFi from the device and cycle tether too. U try reboot, fix perms, and cache/dalvik wipes? Haven't tried modifying that system apk, heard about some issues and this never gives much, if any.

I tried everything. Yes.
I liked the way wifi tether worked on my past phones. Using the patched copy found in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 , which is also needed for the GNex w/4.2, works just like it did on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, and other past phones. No issues. After initial config and allowing SU, just launch the app, tap to start tethering, go to my PC, Tablets, etc.. and connect and go.
The APK is originally from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c109 however, I just noticed lower down in that discussion a patch was added to the experimental 3.4 ( https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c197 ) so I might try that.
I don't feel the need to mess with those system files to use the phone's built in tethering app. I don't have to. I only offered that because some were using it since Wifi Tether for Root wasn't working.

editig one cell in the system settings to get the built-in hotspot app to work is hardly messing with the system files. i've done this on my last three phones and they've all worked flawlessly. plus the built-in app has decent security features.

I know you read the one thread I posted a link to as you asked about doing the SQL edit, and posted a screen shot from your D4.. Its OP talks about replacing a bunch of APK files which are system files...
In Post #24 of that thread, thepolishguy the SQL tweak doesn't work.
... hence my saying I didn't want to mess with a bunch of system files.
Not to mention, side loading an APK and using it is easier. It might not be "cleaner" or seem as "integrated" but it works.
Awesome thanks everyone. I defintely plan on rooting my phone and installed xposed.

[REQUEST] Wifi Tether and/or USB Tether

Please create a Wifi or USB Tether module for Magisk. The Magisk Tether Enabler module is no longer available. The good Wifi and USB Tether apps for rooted phones do not work with Magisk, only SuperSU. ie Wifi Tether by Fabio. Grasso. Please, I do not want to go backwards and root with SuperSU
Why can't the native tether app be used? It should work just by having net.tethering.noprovisioning=true in build.prop and entering:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
In adb or terminal. From what I've been seeing in custom ROMs at least for my Nexus 6, nobody is using tether_dun_required 0 in their builds, having to do it manually every wipe.
I never tried the module you speak of but I wouldn't be too surprised if that's why it did lol.

I do not pay extra for tethering and have unlimited phone data plan. The wifi tether app I mentioned gets around the carrier detecting tethering data and blocking it. Wifi Tether worked great fo 5 years on 2 different rooted phones using SuperSU. The developer admits issues with Magisk and Kingroot. No issues with SuperSU.
A Magisk module would would be appreciated and Im certain others would use it.

You will have to tell me exactly how to set that up. build.prop, terinal cammands, means nothing to me. If you mean turning on tether in settings, it gets blocked by the carrier.
Installing magisk modules and app that require root is better for average users anyway. And I thought magisk modules was one big advantage of magisk...

Let us know if it works, your phone model and OS.
I am not going to know if it works now mate.
I just contacted Three in the UK
I asked them about my hotspot data as i could no longer see it on their website.
They said you are on AYCE Data i was like ok ???
they said your hotspot and AYCE is combined now and i was like huh?
the person on the other end said you have unlimited Tethering.
I was like OMG gobsmacked as i was i left them a great survey.
So i didnt need this after all but if i do get any phones - i will try this method and i will report back on to this thread. (but highly likely i wont be back for awhile)
I am using a Samsung s8
Did Magisk ever made it on they app that you can install they hotspot. I have a pixel 3. If anybody try it out of it please let me know. The carrier is throttling download speeds by margin. It won't go no more then 650kbps download. But when it's the beginning of the billing cycle I can get 23mbps down. After using 15GB of hotspot it drastically throttles it. Any bypass for this would greatly be appreciated

Have you looked through the thread you're posting in? There's a link just a few posts up with commands used for enabling tethering. The prop you can set with MagiskHide Props Config and the "settings put" command you should only have to enter in terminal once (if I remember correctly).

This is an update of this module, which hasn't been updated since Magisk v10. Additionally, I've disabled connection to the dun APN, making it appear as normal data. I'm intending to add TTL fixing in my next update.
Hi,
Okay, so I downloaded it and went into Magisk 19.3 >> Modules >> + >> Browse
I went to it, tapped on the Zip and it just showed me what was in the Zip. It didn't grab it to install it like it normally does.

Make sure that you click the ZIP and click the button that says "Select" that should be at the top. That's my experience with Q on a Pixel 2 at least, but it's worth trying.

Thank you for your response. Once I tap the file, it immediately shows me what's in it, like if you were using a Zip tool and selected "Open" instead of "Extract". I know I'm not supposed to extract it. I'm just relating an example of what I see happen.
I used (I believe it's called "Documents" for some weird reason) Android's built in file selector, like when you're granting access to your Ext SD. That one.

So it did finally install? If so, it should be working. USB Tethering works when you have your phone connected to a PC with a USB cable.

Yes, I did get it installed (see previous message), thank you.
Also, just FYI, I do understand about BT & USB. But I never use those for Tethering. What I'm used to doing (with an app) is to run the app and then it uses the phone's WiFi, but makes it like a Router and broadcasts out an SSID and others see that and using the Password that I set in the app, others can connect to my phone to use the Internet.
Would that still be considered "Tethering"? Or would that fall under "Mobile HotSpot"?
If the latter, then I assume that I would just go into my phone's Settings and Enable it?
If that's the case, did I read correctly that your Module makes it look like Mobile Data to the Carrier instead of Tethering/HotSpot?
Thx!

Tethering and Mobile Hotspot are essentially the same, and yes, you should be able to use the one in Settings for that. And yes, it should hide it from the carrier unless they are doing checks on the TTL, which is what I'm working on next.
Hi,
Okay, so theoretically, I just go into my Settings and Enable "Mobile HotSpot" and my phone will become a connection for others to connect to via their WiFi?
Assuming yes, but how would they know what SSID to look for and what Password to use?
I.e., all I see is a switch to turn "Mobile HotSpot" on. I don't see anywhere to set those things up and I certainly don't want to be wide open for anyone to connect.
Thank you for all your help! It really is very much appreciated! And just FYI, I have understood everything you've said so far.
Thx!

If you click on Mobile Hotspot (not just the toggle) it should take you to a menu where you can configure the SSID and password.

Way Cool, dude!
I'll try it tonight when my wife gets home, or in the morning and let you know how it goes.
Is there any way to confirm it's being seen as Mobile Data by my Carrier?
Let me explain that it's not that my Carrier doesn't allow Tethering. They just limit it to a small amount and then you have to pay for "X" amount (plans).
So as you can tell, I obviously don't want the Tethering I do to be seen as Tethering.
Thx

I'm not going to personally confirm whether it'll be seen as mobile data or tethering, as some carriers do nasty tricks such as checking the TTL of packets to see whether or not it's tethered, but for most carriers, it should work fine.

Okay, thanks. And you said your next update deals with that, right?

It should, though I'm not sure how long that'll take. It requires a kernel module as far as I can tell, and there are solutions for some devices out there already. However, this is very dependent on the kernel installed, and Android doesn't have a system like DKMS. So I'm looking for a solution to that.

I'm able to tether with this, but I have no internet access. I also noticed that if I USB tether I get no internet access. Would this be an example of the carrier doing tricks to prevent it? FWIW I'm running a moto G6 on consumer cellular (which makes use of at&t's network).
I have installed this lastest module, I can bypass carrier lock and device can connect but no Internet. If I look at the device I am hotspotting from it shows 0 devices connect. I am running a rooted Pixel XL with 9.0 pixel dust rom and Magisk 19.3

what is your current phone's kernel that run the module successfully? would it works on LOS kernel?
and does your internet phone works normally while another device use the tethering from it, too?

Possibly? I'm not sure.

That's not the carrier doing anything weird. That's just your phone being weird afaict.

EX Kernel includes the patches for it, and if there's enough interest, I can upload a build that enables it on EX Kernel only for the moment. And yes, my phone's internet works fine while another device is tethering. Your phone is essentially acting as a router when tethering.

Ah, thanks for offering. But I'm not on mood to change any crucial things nowadays, such kernel .
Do you think the module will works on LOS kernel?

No, it won't "just work" on the LOS kernel. Tell them to include the module "xt_HL.ko" for all devices (the kernel module for the iptables mangle table) and it will. Until they do or I find a generic way to get it working, EX is the only kernel I can reasonably support.
